Transport and Development
• The basic economic problem is that society has unlimited wants and needs, but only a finite amount of resources available to meet them.
• Consequently, it is vitally important that resources are used in the most productive and beneficial way.
3
Transport and Development
• Two general forms of project appraisal:
Financial appraisal, which simply evaluates a project according to the net financial gain that it brings In the comparison of two projects, the one which brings the greatest profit to the investor will be the one selected.
Economic appraisal, or cost-benefit analysis, which includes all costs and benefits to society: not just financial. In this case, the project which is the most beneficial to society as a whole will be the one selected.
4
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis
• Cost-Benefit analysis can be viewed as comprising of seven steps:
Specify the Alternatives
Identify the Impacts
Predict the Total Impacts Over the Lifetime of the Project
Monetize the Impacts
Discount the Impacts to Obtain the Present Values
Compare the Net Present Value of Each Alternative
Conduct Sensitivity Analysis
5
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (1)
Specify the Alternatives
The first step in the process is to identify all of the potential alternatives.
Different alternatives before: Construction of a Highway Bridge can be:
1. Business As Usual
2. Improve the BIWTC Ferry System
3. Construct a Bridge With or W/O Rail Link
6
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (2-i)
Identify the Impacts
To list all of the potential costs and benefits surrounding the project.
The costs for each option would include the initial capital cost of construction, the ongoing maintenance costs, the Social and Environmental Costs.
The benefits are likely to include journey-time savings, increased trade between the two towns and regions and reduced congestion.
7
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (2-ii)
Example- Benefits from a new Rail based ICD at Dhirasram
8
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (3)
Predict the Total Impacts Over the Lifetime of the Project
Projects do not only create immediate costs and benefits. Infrastructure projects, have life spans stretching for many years and costs and benefits will be generated throughout them.
This involves effective forecasting.
The relationship between variables is extremely complicated and so accurate forecasting of the impacts over the time is fraught with difficulties.
9
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (4)
Monetize the Impacts
Steps 2 and 3 generate a list of all of the impacts but they are all in different units. Journey-time savings will be in hours, whereas the effects of reduced number of accidents will be in a different term. This means that it is impossible to compare the impacts and so all of them need to be
measured in a single unit: money.
This can be difficult, and controversial, to do. In cost-benefit analysis it is usually done through a willingness-to-pay approach, in which the value is simply the amount that people are willing to pay to avoid a cost or to generate a benefit.
10
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (4-Ex-i) But How to Monetize the Impacts?
Let’s Take an Example of Value of Travel Time.
No Single method could possible provide the exact value of travel time savings resulting from a transport project.
Many different travelers use any given facility, each with their own unique valuation of time (due to their economic productivity or personal views toward time use).
The most commonly used estimate of the value of travel time is the prevailing wage rate in the area surrounding the system.
11
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (4-Ex-iii)
The Highway Economic Requirements System (HERS) developed by NCHRP Report 456 (TRB)
Computer Model designed to Estimate the Benefits using using life-cycle benefit-cost analysis.
Since 1998, the UK Department for Transport
has been using a computer-based cost-benefit
analysis model. The cost-benefit analysis part
of the appraisal is known as the COBA model.
12
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (4-Ex-iv)
Shortcut Method based on HERS for On-the clock Trips and Off-the-clock trips (Page 20 of the NCHRP report)
By direct observation, measure the current travel time and AADT. Then using a travel demand model or based on assumptions- Estimate the Change in Travel Time and AADT.
Using Cordon-line Survey or through by Observations, Estimate the Vehicle-Occupancy Rate and the Vehicle Mix.
Estimate the number of vehicle hours saved on an annual basis, using the values derived in Step-1. Using the Occupancy Rates in Step-2, calculate the Total number of Person-Hours that would be saved annually.
Apply the HERS fraction of Person-Hours saved calculated in Step-3, that are related to automobile trips On-the clock (10 percent of all vehicle hours and, hence, person hours), and apply the current Average Wage Rate plus Fringe Benefits for the area. For person hours pertaining to Other Automobile Trips, use 60% of this wage rate. The result is for the annual value of time savings for automobiles.
Similarly, for other other modes like Trucks- Wage Rates are collected from trucking industry.
13
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (4-v)
Discuss the RHD Road User Cost Annual Report For 2004-2005
• “in vehicle time” and “out of vehicle time”.
• Based on “Average Wage Approach”
• “Work Time” and “Non-Work Time”
• The TTC for WT is taken as the estimated wage rate
• The value of NWT as a proportion of the wage rate- 35% (TRL).
• Recommended Financial and Economic TTC (Page 33)
14
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (5)
Discount the impacts to obtain present values
• For projects with costs and benefits that stretch over many years,
it is important that the values be discounted/ adjusted so that
they reflect the true value of the costs and benefits today.
• A sum of money today is worth more than the promise today of
the same sum of money in ten years' time. Inflation is a part of
this, but the major factor is that of peoples' preferences.
• This is done simply adding up the value today of all the future
costs and benefits, each discounted by its appropriate factor. The
difficulty here is in establishing the value for the social discount
rate.
15
The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (6) Compare the Net Present Value of Each
Alternative
• The net present value (NPV) is simply the present value of the
benefits minus the present value of the costs.
• For a project that is being assessed in isolation, the authority
should proceed if the net present value is positive.
• If there is more than one alternative being assessed, such as
Construct a Bridge or Improve the Ferry System, then the project
with the greatest net present value should be selected as that
would lead to the greatest overall welfare improvement given the
costs incurred.

The Methodology of
Cost-benefit Analysis (7)
Conduct Sensitivity Analysis
• There are elements of uncertainty which can hugely affect the
results of the analysis.
• It is important that the analyst weighs each element in the
analysis according to how certain it is: those elements that are
certain should be given a stronger weighting than those which are
less so.
• This helps the final decision to more accurately reflect the true
values of the impacts.

Cost-benefit Analysis
Limitations of Cost-Benefit Analysis
There are two general criticisms of cost-benefit analysis.
• Criticism of the utilitarian and Hicks-Kaldor assertion that if total
social welfare is increased that is desirable even if it involves a
reduction in the welfare of an individual or a group of individuals.
• Criticism regarding the practicalities of the analysis:
The ease with which important costs and benefits can be omitted from the
analysis, thereby biasing the results.
The difficulty of placing a monetary value on the costs and benefits that have
been identified.
The difficulty of conducting effective sensitivity analysis.
There are elements of uncertainty which can hugely affect the results of the
analysis.
